Patrick Barlow's adaptation of the John Buchan thriller The 39 Steps. The gripping whodunnit which sees Richard Hannay unwittingly caught in a web of murder and espionage, has been filmed three times – by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935 with Robert Donat as Hannay, in 1959 with Kenneth More taking on the role, and more recently in 1978 with Robert Powell in the lead.

Barlow's adaptation is performed by just four actors playing a minimum of 150 roles, and promises to be as exciting as anything previously seen on screen, including every memorable scene from the Hitchcock film: the chase on the Flying Scotsman, the escape on the Forth Bridge, the death defying finale at the London Palladium and the first theatrical bi-plane crash!

Transferring from the Tricycle Theatre for a deserved West End run with the original cast of Catherine McCormack, Rupert Degas, Charles Edwards and Simon Gregor. Maria Aitken directs.
